The twist keeps the strap in place. Without the twist the strap could begin to wander around and if needed to be opend fast, you cant find the buckle.... And Crash!

Very nice, you've done an excellent job on it. I hope your friend appreciates it!
Regarding the wooden fork bung, I remember being told/advised about this many years ago by Merseyside roadmen who used a piece of broom handle. They said it was in case of the steerer breaking, the bung would hold it all together. Never heard about the 'comfort' angle.

Today this white Gios Torino Professional has it's maiden trip.
We did four great historical places:
1) Forrest Wallers Arenberg
2) Carrefour de L'Abre
Both 5 star cobblestone section in Parijs-Roubaix
3) Oude Kwaremont
4) De Muur van Geraardsbergen
Both famous hills in the history of the Tour the Flanders
Wallers Arenberg
My friend is very proud with his bike but was not so proud with the temperature :mrgreen:
On the right my own bike (see separte topic)
Enter Hell :evil:
Carrefour de L'Arbre: how do they do it :mrgreen:
Speed is the solution
But this corner is very nasty. Ask Thor :?:
Look in the mirror!
After those two nasty sections we drive tot Belgium for two more mini-adventures.................

After "The Hell" we drive to Belgium for a few famous hills from the Tour off Flanders.
But first LUNCH
At the top of the Kwaremont you have to drink
And lunch
Then we decent the Kwaremont and back up hill
The cobbles where wet so look out
LOOK OUT!!!
After the Kwaremont we take a rush to Geraadsbergen for the famous and mytical "De Muur" (the wall).
That crazy steep part............
............take longer then a good.............ok you now what I mean.
Last section to the chapel
Thank God there is an end to this climb.
Four great places as a maiden trip in one day! It's was cold and a little wet but it was fun. Now editing some photo's with a dram of whisky the cold and wet is gone and great memories are on the top.
The bike was ok and next year the bike will be put in the hardest conditions in some Belgium, France (both cobbles) and Italian (strade bianche).
It was fun to build this bike for my friend and it was even greater fun to shoot these pics at the maiden trip.
And where is the whisky...............ok ok SLAINTE!

I love project like this. Not just build a bike but trying to take a few nice "studio" pics and a few on the move. Just fun
